Lil Uzi Vert Bails on Headlining New Orleans Festival Set

Last night, Lil Uzi Vert was scheduled to headline the BUKU Music + Art Project festival in New Orleans. He did not show up, Billboard reports. Festival organizers projected the below message on the screen. “Lil Uzi is still in Philadelphia and decided not to come at the last minute. There is no reason,” the message read. “He just canceled on us with no advance notice.” They then claimed they were donating a portion of his fee to the Upbeat Academy Foundation. “Support artists who support their fans,” the message concluded. Pitchfork has reached out to Uzi’s representatives for comment. Other headliners at the festival included Migos, SZA, MGMT, and Bassnectar.
